Lucy in the sky... with an Argos transmitter! - Lucy in the sky... avec un transmetteur Argos!

Effective right now, you can follow the progress of the birds (long-tailed skuas and soon ivory gulls) that we did fit with radio transmitters while in Greenland. Just click on: Labbes . Lucy, our first long-tailed skua was fitted on July 2. As you can see on the map, Lucy has left its nesting area a week later, flew down the eastern coast of Greenland and is now migrating towards the South. In 25 hours between July 19 and 20th, Lucy has flown more than 900kms!! Has Lucy left her area of Greenland because of the scarcity of lemmings (her favorite lunch!), or for other reasons? Hopefully time will tell - hence the reason for doing this work.
